Thornton: June 3, 4, 5, 6 and one follow-up date in fall 2012 (Lisa and Michael should be able to begin their training at this time.)

Fidelity: Vickie Norris will help us to establish inter-rater reliability in fall 2012.

Student Progress: NCSIP data collection: All Elementary EC teachers and gen. ed. teaching ec. students with Letterland at South Newton. One day training for Rave-O in fall. All teachers will have observations 3 times 2012-2013 school year.

CORE training (Assessing Reading Multiple Measures) training (after school) for all participants. QRI 5 training developed and offered next fall.

Parent Involvement: PTA's at South-Reading Nights, Media Nights during July 5-8

Teacher Ed.: LR beginning teachers class coming to South Newton 4 times in fall/spring. 3 student teachers at South next year.

May 9, 2012: Developmental Review Completed with Vickie Norris based on 2011-2012 school year. We will forward the long range plan once we revisit in June.

May 8, 2012-Meeting Notes: Next meeting to finalize 5 year plan is June 14 at 8:30 at South Newton Completed rough draft developmental review form for 2011-2012 school year.

Notes to remember for June 14th meeting: (Suggestions from our meeting on 5/8 and develomental review meeting with Vickie on 5/9/2012) Diagnostic-QRI 5 or CORE for EC elementary. There will need to be a training for this (at the developmental review on 5/9/2012-we will be working on this training with Vickie.) RAVE-O: We are in the implementation stage for this program. Additional details in regards to RAVE-O: 35 minutes per day-4 days per week. There are 77 lessons and 16 assessments for a total of 93 sessions. A specific phonics component will need to be added to go along with RAVE-O. Possilbilities: Spell 2, Spellography, Words Their Way. Training will be offered in summer-most likely in Winston Salem. Vickie will complete fidelity forms with Cynde for inter-rater reliability (and for Letterland).

Foundations training: For the upcoming school year, we tentatively discussed that South Newton will be the school implementation site for the 2012-2013 school year. For two of the training dates, we will use the digital tech days (David approved) and other days for the training. Specifics to be mapped out. Other suggestions/possible additions: Kick off session at first faculty meeting at South Newton, add a make it/take it component for Foundations participants, and follow up discussions after units. A literacy plan needs to be developed with staff at school site. Location for training: South media center.

Data Notebooks: These forms come with the research based programs to include instructional lessons and mastery.

Parent Workshops/meetings: Add to plan for next year.

Teacher Ed: LR students that are visiting South Newton in fall and spring 2012-2013.

11-22-11: Michele Jordan, Michael Lemke, David Stegall, John Worley, Bill Ren, Vickie Norris, Lisa Wade

Purpose of Meeting

 * To determine what our next step is once we finish Reading Foundations Training,
 * Develop a continuity of instruction (especially for EC kids),
 * Make a plan for the remainder of the 2011-2012 school year

Keep in Mind: continuity across the system and intentionally selecting what we need to do

Discussion of Reading Street Basals
 * Teachers observe gaps in what is provided
 * Using guided reading and small group reading to fill voids
 * Basal used as shared reading
 * Supplementary program called My Sidewalks is the companion to Reading Street (we do not have)
 * The problem with My Sidewalks is that it lacks word study and review of these skills to improve automaticity
 * Suggestion: use as whole group reading and then differentiate reading instruction

Implementation of Words Their Way
 * Kids struggle with foundational skills
 * This is helping with word patterns and spelling

Assessments Used
 * Reading 3D (K-5)
 * Dibels (K-2)
 * Suggestion: Go 1 step further and complete IRI's for those kids who are intensive needs

Are we willing to have an administrative strand of foundations training?
 * Yes--This will help bridge the understanding for students and teachers

After discussion, it was determined that we are a Best Practice Site. We need to:
 * 1) Complete reading foundations (Michael, Julia, Lisa, Michele)
 * 2) Designate district sites/people (one school the main site with EC and some RE people, all other elementary EC?)
 * 3) Survey of ECs (listed below)

Eventually:
 * 1) Visit sites around us then make selection of a program
 * 2) Train all EC staff in new program with a program trainer
 * 3) Have a literacy coach in place to ensure fidelity to the model (Train the Trainer model)
 * 4) Complete fidelity checks and the annual program review

What to do Right Now:
 * 1) Survey the EC people at all levels (elem, MS, HS) as well as administrators
 * 2) Find out:
 * The continuum which the teacher is in place (inclusion, resource, self-contained)
 * What program(s) the EC teachers use to teach literacy
 * What trainings teachers have received
 * When did you receive training?
 * What assessments do you use
 * to determine current student instructional needs
 * Do you progress monitorBreakdown headcount (how many SLD, OHI, DD, ID, etc.)
 * How often?
 * Inventory of programs at the schools
 * Inventory of programs at the schools

We are tentatively scheduled to attend trainings in Winston. However, Morganton is thinking of offering training; we prefer to be close so if Morganton cannot commit, we will commit to being a training site.

**If I missed any important information, please make changes!!**
